Spain's High Court has temporarily suspended fines totaling $209 million against Apple and Amazon while the companies appeal against the antitrust regulator's ruling, as reported by @WGallagher. In a separate legal matter, Amazon, the U.S. online retailer, and BMW have won a lawsuit in Spain against four sellers of counterfeit BMW merchandise, according to a statement on Amazon's website on Thursday. Meanwhile, Amazon is facing legal challenges in the United States. The company has been sued in a proposed U.S. class action for allegedly steering consumers to higher-priced items, in violation of consumer protection laws. This lawsuit emerges as inflation spiked in 2023. Additionally, Amazon is contending with an expanded sex bias lawsuit, which claims the company punished workers who sued.
